Any linux operating systems as a daily driver?

i'd recommend linux mint since it's a "just works" distro, comes with a lot of useful software out of the box -- firefox, office suite, etc -- and it's popular, therefore well supported, i've used for a couple weeks and it's really really stable.

cons

- updates take a while, that can be a blessing or a curse, you'll won't get the latest version of some software for example, but it makes for a stabler system

- out of the box, not that much customizable, but you can swap out the software that you don't like, such as the desktop environment and other system tools

- you'll have to learn a tiny bit of terminal commands, but it's nothing scary, after you learn basic things like how to update your system and such, you'll improve your workflow significantly even if you're not a programmer

hope this helps

Thought I'd second the Linux Mint recommendation with a bit of additional info (and some personal experience)

The Software Manager and Driver Manager are probably some of the most helpful tools in the OS. It's easy to install tons of programs through the software manager, and the Driver Manager is nice as well. If you have something in your PC that needs some special drivers (in my case, an Nvidia GPU) Linux Mint will show you available drivers and make them easy to install.

On that, it's a pretty good distro for gaming as well. Using a combination of Wine, Proton, and Bottles has allowed me to run many games very smoothly, even getting a Windows-only mod manager (Unverum specifically) working in Bottles.

Off-topic, but I've also heard a lot of good about Pop! OS. I've seen it in action and it looks clean and pretty easy to set up. I also used Garuda Linux for awhile (which is Arch-based) and had a good experience with it.

thank you i will look into that! :)

Manjaro is an Arch-distro that guarantees stability if you use their repos of pacman. I daily drive it on my laptop. I am thinking of switching to pure arch soon though.

can u switch silverblue and kionite depending on what fedora is or do have to use terminal as a input?

since manjaro is arch-distro is it friendly to use? like does it help you to understand more better since i heard arch is very barebone and next level terminal language?

I reccommend the debian based sparky linux distro because it has some nice stuff in their repositories like gzdoom and brave browser and librewolf. Also if you have a legacy nvidia card like me then install the drivers through debian 11 bullseye repos not sid unless you want a rolling release debian because you're gonna have to fully upgrade to it.
